Chapter Seventy-Three: The Second Son
The Duchess of Guo burst into tears, and looked at Qi Xun hatefully, to be precise, at the rear of Qi Xun.
In that direction is Mrs. Wei's residence.
"Hmph, you thought I was going to be scared of her. ”
The hideous hatred of the Duchess made Qi Xun helpless, and he frowned slightly.
"Mother, I'm sad that my father has become like this, and I want to kill all the murderers who killed my father, but they are in high positions, and if we are not careful, we will die without a place to bury, so now we can only endure it. ”
"Bear with us, bear with us, when are you going to put up with it? Don't forget that they've bullied us to the top. ”
"Mother, believe in the child, it won't be too long, and I will personally avenge my father's revenge. ”
Qi Xun's solemn promise calmed down the Duchess of Guo, bowed her head and gently ** Guogong's thin handsome face, completely ignoring Qi Xun in the house.
Returning to his residence from the main courtyard, Qi Xun's calm face burned with anger.
Zhao Li stood behind Qi Xun without saying a word, and waited until he calmed down, touched the note in his arms, and hesitated whether to give it to the lord now.
Qi Xun, who had his back to Zhao Li, seemed to see his tangled expression.
Hoarse is voice, and said: "If you have anything to say, it's not your style to talk about it." ”
Zhao Li glanced at Qi Xun and saw that he had returned to normal, so he handed the note to Qi Xun.
"Lord, this is a message from Zhao Ming. ”
Zhao Ming is now following Liu Rong, and the news he sent is naturally related to Liu Rong, and he couldn't wait to take the note, which is only a dozen words, and the content is: Lord, Mr. and Mrs. Liu will recruit a son-in-law for Miss Liu after the year.
Qi Xun's brows were erected, his teeth were gritted and "gurgling", his eyes flashed with an uncontrollable anger, and with a grip of his five fingers, the note turned into fine pieces, and glanced into the distance with the wind.
"Okay, very good, son-in-law, I'll see who dares. ”
Zhao Li on the side only felt that there was an invisible killing intent around him, swallowed his saliva, and silently prayed for Old Man Liu and his wife.
"Zhao Li, tomorrow you will leave for Taizhou to ask Master Huizhi to pray for your father's practice. ”
Zhao Li was stunned for a moment, didn't the lord never look down on the monks?
I grabbed my hair, and I couldn't understand what the Lord meant.
Although I was full of doubts in my heart, I didn't ask any questions.
"Yes. ”
Early in the morning of the second day, after Zhao Li instructed Zhao Gao to pay attention to the matters, he hurried to Taizhou.
Unfortunately, he was in vain, and Master Huizhi went to the capital to explain the Buddhist scriptures to the Queen Mother, and he would not be able to return to Taizhou until five days later.
There was no way, Zhao Li could only wait in Taizhou.
Besides, Qi Xun has been in a bad mood since he knew that Mr. and Mrs. Liu were going to recruit a son-in-law for Liu Rong after the New Year.
The people under his command saw that the Lord was not careful, and they were extremely careful and careful in doing things, for fear that they would be found fault by the Lord, and they would inevitably be punished.
Qi Xun's abnormality naturally can't hide from Xi'er's eyes.
Regardless of his physical weakness, he held the maid's hand and came to Qi Xun's study.
Holding his chin with his hands, he blinked and stared curiously at Qi Xun's handsome face.
Qi Xun ignored it at first, but in the end he was defeated and looked at Xi'er helplessly.
"What's the point?"
Xi'er shook her head with a smile.
"Xi'er just wants to ask my brother, as soon as I ask my brother to go to Dongguan City for a few months, I will be busy with my uncle's affairs after I come back, and I haven't seen Xi'er for a long time, so I came here by myself today. ”
Qi Xun nodded her forehead and said with a smile: "It's all because Brother Xun is busy and doesn't have time to accompany you, so let's wait for me to finish dealing with things and take you shopping." ”
Xi'er nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
"Okay, then you have to hurry. ”
Qi Xun couldn't do it, so he had to speed up, and when he was done, it was almost dark.
Qi Xun knew that he was at a loss, so he had to coax her: "It seems that there is no time today, and Brother Xun will definitely take you out shopping tomorrow." ”
"Forget it", Xi'er pouted unkindly, and said, "I want to ask my brother to go shopping with me because you are in a bad mood and want you to forget the unpleasant things." ”
"Who told you that I'm in a bad mood", Qi Xun frowned slightly, glared at Zhao Gao unhappily, and threatened: "It seems that you are still too idle, and you actually ran to Xi'er to chew the root of your tongue." “
Zhao Gao's expression froze, grinned dryly, and innocently whispered: "The subordinates didn't say anything." ”
Xi'er glanced at Qi Xun and teased: "Brother Xun is not careful, I don't need them to tell me at all, as long as I look at their cautious attitude, I can guess that you are in a bad mood, because as long as you are in a bad mood, you will toss them and make them cry bitterly." ”
Unexpectedly, the problem was on him, Qi Xun covered his mouth and coughed in embarrassment, and looked at Xi'er with a wry smile.
"I'm worried about you, is my brother okay?"
Xi'er tilted her head, hesitated, and asked, "Brother Xun is not careful, is it because he quarreled with his aunt?"
Qi Xun shook his head, how could he be embarrassed to say that he was in a bad mood, it was because someone wanted to recruit a son-in-law.
"It's not. ”
"Is that because the emperor gave you a marriage? I have heard that the emperor wants to marry that Princess Leyang to you. Xi'er raised her head and looked into Qi Xun's eyes, and asked courageously: "Is the emperor not at ease, so he sent Princess Leyang to marry you, in fact, to spy on you." ”
Qi Xun's dark eyes flashed with vigilance, and he reached out and gently touched Xi'er's little head, and said solemnly: "Xi'er, are these words meant to tell you?"
Xi'er's eyes flickered, she didn't dare to look at Qi Qian's gaze, and shook her head, "No, no one told me, I guessed it myself." ”
Seeing Xi'er's evasive expression, Qi Xun knew that she was panicked, glanced at her in disappointment, and turned his head to look at Zhao Gao.
"Zhao Gao, check for this son. ”
Zhao Gao nodded solemnly, "Yes." ”
Xi'er panicked, hurriedly pulled Qi Xun, who was leaving, and cried timidly.
"Yes, it's the second brother, don't be angry. ”
Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Miss Xi'er, why did the second son tell you this?"
Zhao Gao's question was exactly what Qi Xun wanted to know, and he looked down at Xi'er.
"I, I don't know. ”
Xi'er's tears fell, and Qi Xun's pretended tough heart softened.
"In addition to telling you this, what did the second brother say?"
"No, no. Xi'er sobbed.
"Okay, don't cry, Brother Qian didn't mean to blame you, don't say such things to anyone in the future, you know?"
Xi'er nodded, "Got it." ”
"Brother Ask still has some things to deal with", turned to Zhao Gao and said, "Send Xi'er back to the room." ”
Zhao Gao clasped his fists and saluted, "Yes, Miss Xi'er, please." ”
Xi'er wiped her tears and glanced back at Qi Xun before leaving.
When the room was quiet, Qi Xun knocked on the table, and his heart couldn't be calm for a long time.
It wasn't until the little servant came over and asked him what he had eaten at night that he came back to his senses.
"My second brother and I haven't eaten together for a long time, so tonight you can prepare a few snacks and pass him over. ”
